Well, of course. You're Canadian, remember?

But seriously, at least for the WWII set origin movie I think a certain amount of flag waving should be de rigueur. I mean, the guy's practically WEARING a flag, after all.


I thought they were talking about, mainly, his representation in modern times. I wasn't actually thinking about the WWII stuff.

If he's fighting Nazis, I'll be happy. If he's not necessarily jingoistic with his approach, I'll be okay depending on how it's represented. But, Cap has mainly lead with the ideals of America, rather than just overt patriotism.

It's going to depend on how they present it, honestly. I'm not opposed to a modern take on Cap. BUT, the moment I see any extremely obvious neutralization or anti-American slant, I'm done with it. I don't trust the HollyLeftwood any more than you do...

Director Joe Johnston, Captain America himself Chris Evans and Comic Con favorite Hugo “The Red Skull” Weaving were met with an incredible applause. The downside of Marvel’s panel was that only Weaving has been shooting. Evans has been working five days and done nothing but screen tests. Thankfully Weaving had one scene completed, which was enough to get us through the panel until the film’s release (25 June 2010).

In pre-Red Skull attire Weaving with his troops are in search of “the jewel of Odin’s treasure chest” (Thor connection!). After a crypt is broken into we see what appears to be a Cosmic Cube on a warrior’s skeleton. The scene plays out further and the mystery of what he is looking for only teased us further. What we did notice was that the Nazi troops as well as Weaving had patches and insignias that resembled the Hydra logo. It was very subtle but was visible more than once.

The teaser trailer was a collection of real World War 2 footage projected over Cap’s shield. There was a shadowy silhouette of Captain America revealed at the end. What got the crowd really going was the quick cut of Cap throwing the shield.

The way he's talking, we might get the original shield before going to the more recognizable round shield.

 Quote:
"There's a couple stages [of the suit]," Evans told MTV News. "Initially in the script, Steve [Rogers] isn't Captain America right away. He gets the injection and isn't asked to go to war right off the bat, he's used in different areas and different facets. So he has a couple different stages of the suit. I don't think he jumps in the final suit until the third act of the film."

According to Evans, those various stages of the costume will involve some time as a USO performer — a role which inspires the look of the costume. That look involves a few different versions of Cap's shield, too.

"During the USO tour, there's obviously a different shield," said Evans. "He goes on a couple missions, goes AWOL, and takes the USO shield. Once he's allowed to be this soldier and they outfit him with a new uniform, they decide to outfit him with an updated shield."

As for the costume itself, Evans shared some details about why the look and feel of the popular red, white, and blue suit was appropriate for the 1940s setting of the film.

"I've been working on another project, so there hasn't been enough time as I would've liked to be in London and go through trial-by-error to make it the most comfortable thing in the world," said Evans of the suit. "But it's not bad. It's a World War II movie, so a little bit of a cumbersome feel to it and something that's a bit chunkier not only serves the time period, but looks better — it's not this sleek, spandex suit. It looks like something you might wear in the '40s in the middle of a war."

Not terrible. I like the rifle on Cap's ride. If they give him some gunplay I'll be very, VERY happy!

Well Evans certainly has bulked up.
I barely recognised him in those pics, especially with the gay Kamphausen hair.

Yeah, if those pics are accurate, that's a sure sign of roids there: the altered facial features.

Wow. Still looks gay. I assume the fake feet he's wearing is so Steve Rogers can kick ass bare-foot?

Well, at least I'm looking more forward to this than anything DC is doing with their films ("Flash will be CSI, Matrix, Se7en, Silence of the Lambs, Jay Garrick, visceral, light, murder, blah, blah, blah...")...

He's having to chase down a car barefoot in the scene. The rubber feet are so that he can run across the asphalt and do stunts.

Joe Johnston did The Rocketeer, which was awesome. I have faith in him on this film. If anyone fucks it up, it'll be Marvel. I can't help but feel that the weakness of Iron Man 2 was the need for it to set up the rest of the Marvel films for the Avengers get together.

Agreed! Marvel is getting over-excited about their Big Event, like they do in comics, and are forcing the stand-alone flicks to attach themselves to said Big Event (much like in the comics, as well).

It would be smart of them to just do what they did in Iron Man 1, and simply reference the rest of the building universe in background scenes or mentions. I understand they wanted to rev-up Sam Jackson as Fury and SHIELD and all that. But, I think the major overstep in there was Scarlett as Black Widow. Yes, I thought she did a fine job. Enjoyed her hot ass. But, in the end, what did she lend the movie? Where was she integral? Methinks there was a looot of re-writing to accommodate her presence in the movie. And that is simply to set her up for The Avengers.

Of course, they're now talking about a possible Black Widow spin-off movie. I would like to refer them to "Elektra" and "Catwoman" for proof positive that it would be a terribly awful idea...

It wouldnt necessarily be an awful idea because other than being female characters with no real powers, there are no similarities in their situations.

Elektra span out of a movie that wasnt exactly popular in the first place, and Catwoman wasnt actually a spin off of anything being that it was years after Batman Returns, and the Catwoman of that series and the solo movie have no common ground other than the name. (Different actress, different costume, had super powers, was given an origin that had no connection to the previous one etc etc etc). Saying Catwoman is a spin off of the Batman films is pretty much like saying that Batman begins is a sequel to Batman & Robin.

That's not true. Focusing on the prime properties, and not wasting time, brand, and money on a spinoff all of no one wants? I think that would be a great idea...
